SPRING TIME IS HERE

Hello world,

       It's been awhile since my last blog, We finished up discussing about musical instruments. We made some homemade instruments such box guitar, a drum, kazoos. xylophones, maracas and  things that shake.

   Spring is here in Florida. warm weather and sunshine has arrive. Spring is time when flowers bloom, birds sing, people go to parks and have picnics, and spring cleaning.   We will be talking about spring activities, planting a garden, and spend more time outside.  We will start doing more things in the next few weeks. Hopefully we will do some planting in the court yard.

Happy Birthday, Saint Patrick's Day, and Easter

Hello World,

Guess what today is for me. It's my birthday!   So Happy Birthday to me!!  Also Saint Patrick's Day is coming up in a few days, followed by Easter. What a lot of things to celebrate in the next few weeks.

Our class is is ready for Saint Patrick's day. We learned about who Saint Patrick was, the history of, leprechauns, shamrocks, and pot of gold as well as  Ireland, the traditions, wearing green, and the luck of the Irish.  We learned quite a bit about the Irish people and who they are.It was really interesting.    Easter is coming up soon and we will be getting ready for the holiday. I'm looking forward to a special Easter basket and lots of crafts.
Here are some of my birthday pictures

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

The year has come to the end and a new year will begin. This will be the last blog for the year until after the new year.
 Our class has been talking about Christmas this month.We put up some Christmas decorations in our classroom and on the bulletin board.   So far we learned  about trees and the significance of the trees. This week we are talking about snow and what we can do in the snow. Later this month we will talk about the true meaning of Christmas, Santa Claus, his reindeers  and the new year. Christmas is when everyone has a wish list of things they want for Christmas. On my wish list is a mp3 player so I can listen to my own music. Christmas is also when people travel to see family in other places.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello World

Boy, I have been busy this month. Our class has been talking about Thanksgiving this month. We learned about the first Thanksgiving where the indians and the pilgrims got togrther after a long hard winter to celebrate what they were thankful for . The celebration lasted 3 days. We made indians, pilgrims, hats, bands and turkeys. We talked about what people have for thanksgiving dinner. Everyone has something diffrerent to eat for dinner. We talked about pumpkin pies also. Now the weather is getting cooler, low in the upper 50s and high in the low 70s.  Is everyone ready for christmas? We already went to the festival of lights. Each trees was  decorate with different themes and lights!  It was pretty cool and we all had a great time.  We especially liked the gingerbread village that was on display....oh, the idea of eating all of the display was overwhelming.

Happy Halloween

Hello World

       It has been awhile since I did a blog. There has been quite a few changes in our agency. The access to a computer is limited and schedule conflicts. I will try to write a blog at least twice a month.

      This month our class has been talking about Halloween and making spooky Halloween stuff. I went to the pumpkin  patch with a group. I saw lots of pumpkins that day. Our classroom has been busy making mask, pumpkins, ghost, witches, spiders, oh my. We decorated our classroom with the things we made. We will pretend to bob for apples and experience what will be like to bob for apples.  Here is a mask that I made.
